I remember all the rage was this one iced coffee brand (likely nestle) that came with a plastic shaker just for the coffee. It's ok to miss Starbucks -- as much as I love indie coffee shops in the U.S., and the concept of European cafes when I am visiting my family, I really have a soft spot for Starbucks. Yes, it's a huge corporate giant, but it did get Americans into the habit of coffeehouse culture in some ways.   <strong><em>Oh how fun ... a free "shaker." Love it! And I agree with your thoughts on Starbucks. They did get us into the coffeehouse culture, as well as thinking that $6 or $7 for coffee was normal!</em></strong> Yum — I have had those, especially during hot summers visiting my relatives in Ticino.

And I love them! I make sure to put the sugar (& cocoa, which I sometimes also use) into the shaker first, and then mix it up with the coffee before adding milk & ice so that it has a chance to dissolve. And I use nonfat milk (because that's what we have in the house), so I don't get nearly as much foam as you do... Although perhaps it's because I'm not doing the little song & dance routine? Hmm...   <strong><em>It is definitely the song and dance, Jessica! I use skim milk, too! :-) Love the idea about adding sugar first. Great tip!</em></strong> I started making shakeratos this summer when it was too hot to have my usual coffee in the morning… And I love them!

Not quite right for England right now (it's tippling down with rain - hissing against the windows, in fact. Miserable and drab. I love England, can you tell?). But that's still heavenly. And yes, roasted coffee beans scattered on the top. This should be more popular than it seems to be, generally. (Along with chocolate-covered coffee beans).   <strong><em>Already nasty in England, eh?? You definitely need to come back to Italy ASAP!</em></strong> Fantastic.
